3D glasses over my prescription glasses at theater???

That's how I do it when I see a 3D movie. Never a problem and I "forget" the things are on my head after a few minutes. They're made to fit comfortably over regular glasses. I just don't worry about it.
Still, there's not many movies where I'm all that interested in spending the $ to watch it in 3D. But that's another thread entirely.

Thanks, guys.
I'd like to try 3D one of these times, but mostly I've never been interested in it. Was thinking about maybe seeing Star Trek this afternoon---either in 2D or 3D---but I got sidetracked. When possible I like afternoon showings so that I can avoid lots of kids. Looks like there's another showing at 4:00. Perhaps not too many kids at that one, at least compared to 7:00, but then again it is opening weekend.

I do it, but it is an issue. So far the only free 3D glasses which fit properly and didn't require constant fidgeting and adjusting were those I got at the IMAX theater, but mine were scratched so bad it didn't matter that they fit well over my prescription glasses.
It always works to wear them over my glasses, it just isn't comfortable and often I have to do extraordinary things to keep them aligned.

Just got back from watching Star Trek in 3D.
This theater had the Dolby glasses, which fit over my smaller frames OK. Not perfect, but thankfully I didn't have to fuss with them (much) once the movie started.
I liked it. Good movie and the 3D effects were kind of cool; granted I've got nothing to compare it to. Though I did wonder if at times the picture didn't get a little bit darker than they intended due to the 3D. And maybe occasionally there seemed to be a little loss of detail (or maybe loss of focus?).

That has been a common statement on 3D that the brightness is low at times.
I found like others that I had a bit of a headache at the end, behind my left eye.
My dominate eye is the right. I am also partially color blind in the red green area.
I was able to see effects Ok and convincing.

That's right... I had totally forgotten... but now that you mention it... I do remember reading where the 3D sometimes can make people feel sick. Glad I didn't get a headache from it.
Now if only they would've had half-decent 3D movies 10 or 12 years ago back before I gave up on wearing contact lenses. Then I'd have been golden.
